| Survival game Sons of the Forest release date is delayed Posted: 27 Mar 2022 10:16 AM PDT  Developer Endnight Games confirms a Sons of the Forest release date delay that pushes the anticipated horror survival game sequel to late 2022. The game, which is basically The Forest 2, will no longer release in May as planned. Sons of the Forest is the follow-up to the survival-horror game The Forest, where the player is the survivor of a plane crash and has to stay alive in the mysterious titular forest, with creepy cannibals and starvation just a couple of the dangers in store. It sold really well, so it's no surprise that the team is working on a sequel. Endnight Games hasn't said much about Sons of the Forest, other than a creepy teaser trailer that dropped alongside the announcement of a May 2022 release date. Unfortunately, the developer now says that this date was "overly ambitious" and the team won't be able to make it. Endnight confirms a delay for Sons of the Forest - it's still coming this year, but not until the spookier autumn time. |
| Player speedruns 10 LEGO games in less than 20 hours Posted: 27 Mar 2022 09:20 AM PDT  A player has beaten the LEGO games speedrun record, completing the first ten TT Games-developed action-adventure games in under 20 hours - including the first four LEGO Star Wars games, on the eve of the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. In the speedrunning community, it's called the Grunt% challenge - a race to play through the first ten LEGO games created by TT Games/Traveller's Tales as quickly as possible. It's called the "grunt" challenge because these are all the LEGO games made without voice acting, where the characters only spoke in unintelligible grunts. The list includes most of the LEGO Star Wars games, including The Complete Saga - a remixed version of the first two games - and the open-world game Clone Wars. Speedrunner Chimkin actually completed the challenge last year with 21 hours 15 minutes but decided to go back and try again. This time he broke his own record and completed all ten games in under 20 hours, with a final time of 19 hours and 33 minutes - a new world record for the Grunt% challenge.

| The Fortnite April Crew Pack headliner is a ninja catgirl Posted: 27 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PDT  The Fortnite April Crew Pack 2022 is now revealed by Epic Games, so monthly subscribers can see the next skin they'll be getting for the battle royale game - and in this case, it's a purple cat-owl ninja assassin called Sayara who likes dancing, DJ, and death. This month's March Crew Pack consists of the heart-breakingly pink Tracy Trouble and her skull-heart back bling, which will only be available until March 31. After that point, it'll be replaced with the April Crew Pack - which Epic has just announced. The new skin, as mentioned, is Sayara - a masked ninja assassin lady with an owl-like mask and a mean cat impression, as Epic's reveal video below shows. It'll be available on March 31 at 4:59pm PT / 7:59pm ET / 12:59am BST on April 1, which is exactly when Tracy Trouble will go away, so make sure to sign up if you want to get that exclusive skin. As always, subscriptions cost $11.99, but that does also include 1,000 V-Bucks a month too. RELATED LINKS: Fortnite V-Bucks, Fortnite Skins, Fortnite Creative Codes |
| Among Us servers down thanks to sabotage Posted: 27 Mar 2022 07:39 AM PDT  Are Among Us servers down in the US and Europe? It seems so, as the social deduction multiplayer game is apparently under DDoS attack this weekend by hackers. Developer Innersloth is working on getting the servers back up but confirms - Among Us is sabotaged. Among Us is one of the most recognisable indie games in the world and basically single-handedly popularised the social deduction game - including the part about the enemy team needing to sabotage key systems to sneakily take down the other players. Fortunately, Innersloth is taking the irony of Among Us itself being sabotaged with good humour. As Innersloth reported on Friday, its servers in North America and Europe were hit by denial of service (DDoS) attacks - causing players to receive constant error messages when they tried to go online. Innersloth was forced to take Among Us offline to fix the problem, while jokingly complaining about having to work at the weekend (tell me about it). |
| Bored of Elden Ring? Don’t worry, Bloodborne Kart is coming Posted: 27 Mar 2022 04:48 AM PDT  Bloodborne Kart is coming, for those that think that Elden Ring is great but isn't enough of a racing game. It's a tongue-in-cheek new project from the creators of the Bloodborne PS1 demake, and it's not an April Fool's Day joke. We think, anyway. FromSoftware's Bloodborne is top of the list of best console games we wish were on PC, so for now PC users' only option is to play the PS1-style demake of Bloodborne which released earlier this year. We're also less than a week away from April Fool's Day, and last year the demake team made a funny announcement that it was cancelling Bloodborne PSX and making Bloodborne Kart instead. Now, apparently, the team says it is actually, really working on Bloodborne Kart as a genuine game. Lead @b0tster has started posting development threads on Twitter. They plan to have multiple racers with their own unique karts, including karts and the cool Akira-style bike in the picture above. |
| Portal 2 mod overhauls the graphics to Half-Life: Alyx level Posted: 27 Mar 2022 03:41 AM PDT  A Portal 2 mod "in development for several years" plans to overhaul the adventure game's graphics to make Aperture Science look as good as Valve Software's most recent game Half-Life: Alyx made City 17 look - and Portal 2: Desolation will get a new story, too. So, Portal 3, right? While we wouldn't necessarily call it an old game, Portal 2 is both an all-time classic and, well, nearly eleven years old at this point. Not only does Half-Life: Alyx look much better than it, so does a free game set in Aperture Science that Valve released to promote the Steam Deck. The ambitious Portal 2: Desolation mod aims to change all that, on top of a brand new story. It's already been in development for a few years - we last heard about it in 2019, where it promised a more "unsettling" story in the Portal universe along with 40-50 test chambers of moderate difficulty and an average playtime of roughly six to eight hours. |
